Patient's question:
Male baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate amounts of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered, and they can also be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, and other effective approaches. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets sufficient rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
